An inspirational guide to creating lessons that are thought-provoking and meaningful, whilst at the same time theoretically sound. - Professor Carol Dweck, Stanford University, USA Challenging Learning goes back to first principles. Looking at what matters between teacher and learner; relationships, purpose, learning through mistake, and understanding the process. It is an uplifting read.A - Mick Waters, Professor of Education and President of the Curriculum Foundation, UK An accessible and well-informed guide to teaching in a way that actively stretches young minds rather than merely tries to fill them up. - Professor Guy Claxton, University of Winchester, UK Challenging Learning is readable, entertaining and, of course, challenging! As a school resource it will support you to develop teaching and learning and provides a wealth of ideas and resources to develop pupils' thinking, confidence and motivation. Its publication is timely as we introduce the new primary curriculum and the much needed focus on creativity and skills.A - Sue Turner, Headteacher of Sandringham Primary School, Doncaster, UK If more teachers were to use the interactive classroom strategies suggested by James Nottingham in his book, students would surely grow into more careful thinkers, teachers would gain greater skill in conducting their classroom dialogues and who knows, the world might become a thoughtful place.A - Professor Art Costa, California State University, USA
